Have you been counted?

Participate in the Atheist Census It’s quick and easy, and then we get to see the stats, too.

Currently, the most godless country in the world seems to be…Brazil. Somebody is doing a good job of promoting it down there, I think.

Get on the list. As a bonus, I think every participant gets the Mark of the Beast and is automatically enrolled in a sweepstakes where the grand prize is an evening with the Whore of Babylon. Also, any Christians who try to skew the poll will be instantly damned to hell by Jesus. Just warning you.

Atheist Census experiences a high volume of entries and to make sure that everyone has the chance to submit and confirm their details we had to temporarily disable the submission form.
Thank you for understanding and please come back in a few minutes!

There are times when I feel proud to be Brazilian. This is one of them. It’s good to know that there are so many atheists over here, specially if you consider that this is still one of the most catholic countries in the world. People seem to be waking up.

It’s better or worse depending on where you look (you can filter by country). Canada and the USA have around to 65% male (not great but better) where as Brazil is 83% male. The slanting of the data towards Brazil might also explain why there are so many ex catholics.

I doubt that they are yet. But the conclusion that comes to mind is using it to compare their responses to the percentage of the population that’s identified as atheist in each country to figure out how much of the total group places like Pharyngula are reaching.

They ran this thing earlier this year and it ended up getting shut down for some reason, just a day after I put in some effort to promote it on some forums I frequent. Was a bit disappointing. But oh well, I’ve gotten myself counted once again, but I’m still waiting for the email.

Thank you very much for supporting Atheist Census PZ!
#3 – it’s not the number of entries that’s high and causing issues, it’s the rate of submissions – I think primarily thanks to Pharyngula at the moment!

Hah, one of the benefits of living on the arse of the world, when Kylie Sturgess put up the link last night all went swimmingly. Maybe y’all should get up earlier?
Well anyway, that demonstrates the power of Free PeeZ.

On 7 December Atheist Alliance International launched Atheist Census at http://www.atheistcensus.com, a global project to count and collect information on the world’s atheists. The response to the site was very positive, with well over 8,000 peop
le contributing before it was taken offline as a result of a DoS (denial of service) attack, less than 24 hours after launch. We do not know who is behind the attack, but it’s a reasonable conclusion that they do not like atheists being counted. We are working hard to get Atheist Census online again.

Male or female, prostitutes are usually abused and suffering peoples. Joking about it (even mythical prostitutes) isn’t funny.

I guess these kind of references happen because a) many atheists don’t consider prostitution / sex bad per-se and b) Christians (who PZ was parodying with his WoB/Satan language) often portray atheists as sexual perverts and hedonists.

Child murder and cannibalism are also not generally funny things to happen. But I still have a baby sammich for breakfast every morning.
